Winery - Pago de Larrainzar

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
At first the aromas of hard cheese and blatant oak veil the black fruit quotient in this blend. However, in the mouth the wine is more expressive and ripe, with plum, berry and ample oak-driven vanilla. It doesn’t appear to have much depth or complexity, but overall it is smooth and pleasant.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Over a year ago this wine rated only 86, but bottle age has improved it, and now its condensed nose of black fruit and chocolate mint chip is very pleasing. The palate is ripe and offers blackberry and cured meat, while the finish delivers licorice, pepper and a touch of salami. Proof that wines do change over time, and that sometimes we underrate the youngsters.
